Just in Case You Were Wondering if the GOP Planned to Screw Obama from the Beginning

WASHINGTON D.C. — As President Barack Obama was celebrating his inauguration at various balls, top Republican lawmakers and strategists were conjuring up ways to submarine his presidency at a private dinner in Washington, D.C.

The event — which provides a telling revelation for how quickly the post-election climate soured — serves as the prologue of Robert Draper’s much-discussed and heavily-reported new book, “Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives.”

For several hours in the Caucus Room (a high-end D.C. establishment), the book says they plotted out ways to not just win back political power, but to also put the brakes on Obama’s legislative platform.

“If you act like you’re the minority, you’re going to stay in the minority,” Draper quotes McCarthy as saying. “We’ve gotta challenge them on every single bill and challenge them on every single campaign.”

Welcome to minority rule, Republican style. Notice Dems never did this. When they'd block legislation it was select and based on principles for what they thought best for America. Dems work with GOP presidents. GOP blocks everything unless it's their agenda. All this patriot, freedom, liberty is nothing but bullshit to the GOP and their minions. This is not what America is supposed to be and it cannot survive this kind of governance.
